Is anyone else unmoved by the Hamas-Israel college campus story?

On one hand I have no clue what the left thinks it’s doing or wining by coordinating this. On the other, seeing Repub politicians and right leaning folks galvanized to defend Israel’s honor is perplexing as well considering most were silent in 2020.

I just think it’s a test run for something worse leading up to the elections.

Ultimately yes, it’s not our fight.

Don’t be silly. It’s almost like you naively think these aren’t anti American/ anti Western / anti Christian riots. Israel is just a proxy object of hatred to destroy for these people. You either defend American traditions, principles, ideals and Institutions or you don’t. Whether Israel exists or not, it’s the same battle and it’s being fought now on campuses. Next Summer somewhere else.

I'm so tired of hearing about it. This would've been a nothing burger if national media didn't rush to these campuses and give these dorks front page coverage.

Why would Israel have been an issue in 2020?

I don't see it as defending Israel.

I see these little bitches trespassing, illegally assembling, harassing people, preventing people from freely accessing places they want to go, breaking into building, spreading filth, and being violent and definitely intimidating people.

I want these pieces of shite arrested again immediately for these reasons.

I have an extensive knowledge on the Israel/Palestine conflict and some opinions relating to that, but the campus protests themselves don’t really interest me at all and I think make both sides look stupid.

Cheering on police crushing the most beta people ever does feel gross

I'm good with it making the modern American Left look like the bumbling clueless idiots they are, who have basically run out of "causes" to the point they have to try to find one that literally turns off seemingly everybody who is not a complete whack job. It's actually sort of perfect in this regard.

The right, however, would do well to just give it some token disapproval and move on. The idea that people are actually considering legislation to somehow "combat" this stuff, is completely absurd and typical shooting themselves in the foot.

Just more evidence of the social and cultural rot that we all know is expanding.

Reframe it.

Just enjoy dirty REI hippies getting ridiculed and tackled after they get held to account for their actions.

It’s good entertainment.

Watching the OM boys shame the smelly klan away was great.

I have barely paid attention. The movement is irrelevant, it will accomplish nothing, and its just an excuse for the unattractive out-crowd losers to draw some attention to themselves. Ignore the problem and it will go away like everything else.

It's just the replacement for the BLM and antifa riots of past. Those are old hat now.
The people organizing it are the same, for the same reasons. They don't care about Left or Right, Hamas or Israel. Just getting people riled up.
The idiots on campus are just useful tools. Conservatives get in a frenzy to support Israel. And that's the point of all this, to cause anger and chaos. THEY don't care about either side, it's all about the reacts.
